Welcome Home - to a Space That Works With Your Brain
Your environment should support your energy, attention, and nervous system — not fight against it. Whether you’re neurodivergent, overwhelmed, or simply ready for a space that feels easier to live in, I use brain-friendly design principles to help you build a home that feels calm, intuitive, and doable.

Here’s how we’ll work together:

  1. Start with the Foundational Consultation

    We walk through your habits, stress points, and attention patterns.
    You’ll leave with a personalized Room Flow Report — a simple, actionable guide outlining your obstacles, your strengths, and my top recommendations to move forward.

  2. Choose your path forward

    → Functional Refresh
    A focused reorganization and layout shift that supports your natural rhythms. No renovations — just strategic rearrangements, sensory-friendly tools, and systems that finally stick.

    → Full Overhaul
    A complete redesign from the ground up. We source new furniture, décor, and lighting based on your sensory needs and lifestyle so your space becomes intuitive, supportive, and deeply you.


    Let’s create a home that feels like an ally, not another task on your list.

Revive a room

a Functional Refresh

Starting at $350 per room · Light Lift

A practical, brain-friendly reset for your space. Instead of changing everything, we optimize what you already have so the room feels easier to navigate and maintain.
Perfect for renters, busy professionals, or anyone who needs clarity without major renovation.

What’s included:

  • furniture flow and functional reorganizing

  • simple systems built around your habits

  • light sensory upgrades (soft lighting, task lighting, texture/play)

  • recommended tools (filing, baskets, organizers — optional add-ons)

This service focuses on reducing friction and creating systems that stick, especially for ADHD or other neurodivergent attention styles.

(Furniture/decor costs separate)

A complete transformation of your space — function, flow, aesthetics, and sensory design. This is ideal if your room needs a true reset or you’ve outgrown your current setup.

What’s included:

  • full-room redesign + layout planning

  • mood boards + material selection

  • sourcing of furniture, décor, and functional systems

  • lighting & sensory optimization

  • installation support

Sourcing Fee: 10–15% of all furniture/decor purchased. This covers research, vendor communication, budget tracking, and managing all the little details so you don’t have to.

This is the neuroscience-meets-interior-design experience — for clients who want a space that feels intentional, regulating, and deeply aligned with their lifestyle.
